  On February 25, "Third Sister Liu" cultural product collector Jiang Bo set off from Liuzhou City, Guangxi to Guilin City to visit "Third Sister Liu" Huang Wanqiu.

Through the glass of the ward, Huang Wanqiu and Jiang Bo waved.

Looking at "Liu Sanjie" who appeared on the covers of countless collections, Jiang Bo's eyes were moist.

  This is the first meeting between Jiang Bo and Huang Wanqiu.

Previously, Jiang Bo, who has more than 40 years of collecting experience, kept in phone contact with Huang Wanqiu, and the two agreed to meet after the haze of the epidemic dissipated.

Recently, the news that Huang Wanqiu was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital in Guilin made Jiang Bo very worried and immediately went to Guilin to visit.

  Huang Wanqiu is the actor who played "Liu Sanjie" in the movie "Liu Sanjie". In the 1960s, the movie "Liu Sanjie" was released and became popular at home and abroad. Huang Wanqiu has been well known to the public since then.

Since then, the image of "Liu Sanjie" played by Huang Wanqiu has been printed on the covers of audio tapes, vinyl records and other products.

These products were bestsellers at the time.

  Jiang Bo, 56 years old this year, began searching for "Liu Sanjie" cultural collections everywhere when he was a teenager.

From stage play scripts to movie albums and posters, from vinyl records, tapes to CDs, and even iron pencil cases, badges, and workbooks with the image of "Liu Sanjie" printed on them... nearly 1,500 collections occupy a room in Jiang Bo's home. And he spent more than 100,000 yuan on it.

  Jiang Bo clearly remembered that in the 1980s, a vinyl record of "Liu Sanjie" from Taiwan cost him half a year's salary.

This record is still his "favorite".

  In the era when it was impossible to find information about collections through the Internet, Jiang Bo joined relevant collection associations and met fellow enthusiasts from all over the world.

They write letters and make phone calls to exchange collection information, exchange collections with each other by mail, and realize their respective collection purposes.

"I would go to the local area and bring it back when I came across something I really liked. Since there was no condition to exchange photos of the collection at that time, it was inevitable that it would run out." Jiang Bo recalled.

  At the beginning of Jiang Bo's collection, a collector contacted him and said on the phone that he had a script of the stage play "Liu Sanjie", which might be what Jiang Bo had been looking for. The lettering is blurred.

Jiang Bo immediately decided to take the green leather train to Guangdong to find out.

"When I got the script, I realized it was the version I already had. I was a little disappointed at the time, but I don't regret it." He said with a smile, because he loves it, so it's worth it.

  Jiang Bo, who is now engaged in the construction industry, is busy with work on weekdays.

He spends most of his free time on his hobby of collecting "Sanjie Liu" cultural collections.

In order to prevent the collection from getting damp, he bought picture frames and plastic bags and put the collection in one by one.

"The collection is to 'freeze' the glorious era. The performance scripts from all over the country and the vinyl records released in Southeast Asia and other places are the best proof of the popularity of 'Liu Sanjie'." Jiang Bo said that many of his collections were produced in the last century In the 1970s and 1980s, with the development of economy and society, cultural and entertainment products became more and more abundant, and cultural images became more diverse. The popular "Liu Sanjie" culture in the past was inevitably impacted.

  In order to let more people understand the culture of "Liu Sanjie", Jiang Bo put more than 200 collections on display in the cultural center of Yufeng District, Liuzhou City.

In the museum, records, posters and other collections are sorted and framed, like decorative paintings, and hung on the white walls of the aisle.

The original ordinary aisle was "decorated" by the collections into a "Liu Sanjie" themed cultural corridor.

Passers-by pass by here from time to time raise their eyes and look around. Out of curiosity, some people often approach a certain collection and stop to watch it.

"Every collection has its origin, and every picture frame has a story." Jiang Bo sighed.

  Jiang Bo used several booklets to record the time, price, location and other information of each collection when it was collected.

In recent years, an additional item has been added to his brochure—recording the scenes when he met the actors of "Liu Sanjie" and the content of the conversation.

  "One of the things I have been doing in the past two years is to look for 'Liu Sanjie'. Many artists who have played the role of 'Liu Sanjie' are already old. I record their stories. If one day they are gone, We still have memories." Jiang Bo said, now, he is more like a person who collects the stories of "Liu Sanjie".

  "When many overseas Chinese mention Guangxi, the first thing that comes to mind is 'Liu Sanjie'. I hope that more young people will pay attention to the 'Liu Sanjie' culture and make it timeless." Jiang Bo took out several cassettes issued by different record companies from his bag , through the plastic bag, caressingly said.

  Due to various reasons, Jiang Bo has not been able to meet Huang Wanqiu, the lead actor of the movie "Liu Sanjie", but he has always kept in touch with him by phone.

Hearing that Huang Wanqiu was critically ill this time, Jiang Bo couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately took a car to visit the ward in Guilin.

  Seeing Huang Wanqiu waving at him through the glass, Jiang Bo's heart eased a little.

At the same time, the scene of his "acquaintance" with Huang Wanqiu appeared in his mind.

"There are flowers on the top of the mountain, fragrant at the foot of the mountain, and water at the bottom of the bridge is cool..." In the melodious singing, the scenery of the mountains and rivers is like several pictures, spreading out one by one.

Across the screen, "Liu Sanjie" rowed a boat and came slowly.

  On February 18, Huang Wanqiu was transferred to the ICU of Guilin People's Hospital for treatment due to upper left lung cancer with intrapulmonary metastasis and complications.

At present, the Guilin Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have established the Huang Wanqiu Medical Treatment Leading Group in accordance with relevant requirements. The Huang Wanqiu Medical Treatment Expert Group is composed of experts from the departments of critical illness, tumor, respiratory, pharmacy, radiation, and nursing, and is doing its best to treat Huang Wanqiu.
